NEDERLAND — An altercation between two groups of people in Nederland over the weekend led to shots fired, authorities said.
Police were called at approximately 1:18 a.m. Saturday to the 400 block of South 29th Street in reference to a firearm being discharged.
Nederland Police Chief Gary Porter said witnesses reported a group of people showed up at a South 29th Street home and a fight ensued.
An individual jumped into a dark colored, possibly grey, pickup truck that was low to the ground and took off down the street, which is a dead-end road.
As the truck left, someone fired gunshots into the air, police said.
Porter said it is unknown who was in the truck that fled.
The crime is a city ordinance violation because the gunman did not aim at a house or person.
No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.
The case is under investigation.
